Or maybe add an option that behaves like a "su" as I just found out that the
new schroot does not read ~/.bashrc like both interactive and
non-interactive new bash instances are supposed to. E.g. in my
setup .bashrc tested for /etc/debian_chroot and changed $DISPLAY from
":0.0" (socket) to "localhost:0.0" (inet) and changed the PS1 prompt for
interactive shells so that I did not mix up my xterms...
